Learning from His Example- Helping Those Less Fortunate
After watching the news about how Brenden Foster, a terminally ill boy wanted nothing more than to help those who were less fortunate than himself, I realized that in today's society the practice of selflessness is hardly ever seen. I am guilty of this too. Sometimes I get so caught up in the things I don't have and worrying about the troubles I have to deal with in my personal life, I fail to take the time to help out my fellow man.More Here...

When Your Relationship Is Moving Too Fast
Me and my sister stayed in the house this past weekend catching up on our favorite movies. While watching 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," my sister asked me if it were possible for a guy to act the way Kate Hudson's character acted in the film. In other words, could there be guys out there who are very clingy, needy, and emotional when it comes to relationships? I told her definitely. More Here... -
Treating Your Body As A Temple
A while back, I wasn't feeling the best. I was always getting headaches, my body was in constant pain, and I stopped eating healthy. I realized my body was trying to tell me it felt neglected, but with my crazy schedule, I continued to ignore the signs. At my latest doctor's appointment, I learned my bad eating habits along with my lack of exercise caused me to not only feel sluggish, but also make myself more sick in the long run.More Here...

Realizing I Was Wrong
I've been doing a lot thinking lately and I've come to realize that I've been in the wrong about a lot of things when it comes to relationships. For example, in my previous relationship I failed to give the relationship a chance. Me and my ex had the best of times and the worst of times, but the thing was I never fully explained what my issue was in the relationship. My issue was growth.
Truthfully, I didn't allow myself to grow from the relationship. I was afraid to let him care for me, so I constantly pushed him away. My self-doubts made it hard for me to listen to his feelings. Basically, I acted as if I didn't deserve him, so I ended it before he could realize how I truly felt. The more I think about it, the more I regret my decision. Deep down, I wanted that chance to work out our issues and continue being together, but I just refused to put the necessary work into the relationship. The funny thing is he's the most understanding guy I know. But like I tell my sister all the time: "you gotta deal with you before you deal with someone else." Too bad I couldn't take my own advice.
3 1/2 months after our breakup, I know now he didn't deserve that. I am grateful that he continues to love me, despite our relationship ending. The truth is I love him too. I just needed the time and the courage to allow him to love me in return. If he'd take me back, I'd go. I care about him that much.Have your feelings/issues ever get in the way of a relationship? What happened?

Being Jealous of Your Partner
One of my friends has been feeling pretty sad lately in her relationship.Apparently, she not only got a great paying job with benefits, but she received a shiny, new car compliments of her parents. I was very happy for my friend, because she worked hard to get those things, but it seemed as if her bf wasn't so happy.
At first, he congratulated her, but then she said she noticed him becoming more distant. She said he even started to resent her. Whenever she offered to pick him up from his job, he refused. He even stop calling her for periods at a time coming up with bogus explainations about his attitude.
My friend didn't know what to do. She wants to believe deep down that he cares about her, but she's starting to realize his jealousy is getting out of hand. One day she asked," The thing that hurts the most is that if the tables were turned, I would never treat him like he's treating me. So what's his problem?" All I could do was sigh.
How do you deal with a bf or gf that's jealous of your accomplishments?
